air

yes i do find heat works but Im also finding air trapped in the molds an issue as well as heating the resin can speed up the hardening.A thought is to thin down the resin a bit ,anyone know if its possible?
thanks

slow down resin

From what i've read and heard... Slowing down the cure will help, gives the resin time to release the bubbles. And pouring the resin in one spot with a steady stream at a distance letting the stuff run over the lip of the bucket seems to help too. Another way is casting in a pressure pot or vacuum that will push the air out.
my 2 cents, hopefully someone else can chime in.
